Former Brazilian Defense Minister Arrested for Interfering in Coup Investigation

On December 14th, Jinshi Data reported that the Brazilian military said that the federal police arrested Walter Braga Netto, former Brazilian Minister of Defense, on Saturday. This retired general was previously accused of plotting a coup to overturn the 2022 election results. Netto also served as the Chief of Staff for former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and was his running mate in the failed reelection campaign in 2022. The police accused Netto of being the key figure behind the alleged coup attempt, but he denied playing any role in the incident. His lawyer did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
